Catalogue Note

Stefania Mason Rinaldi has dated this work to around 1620.  Although it cannot be directly connected with a painting, the 1980 exhibition catalogue records that two drawings by Palma in the British Museum (1946-7-13-490 and 1862-8-9-11) show Venus in the same pose, while a painting in the Kassel Gemäldegalerie of Venus and Cupid at Vulcan's Forge, which probably dates from the first decade of the seventeenth century, also shows a Titianesque Venus, reclining with one arm stretched over her head.
